Culverts to be replaced on the Klamath River

BY ROGER GITLIN

The Triplicate

A $2 million infrastructure project to replace two undersized culverts on Resighini Rancho Tribal lands has been announced by the Department of the Interior and the U S Fish and Wildlife Service.

The federal funding will replace the Waukell Creek and its tributary Junior Creek culverts on the Klamath River Estuary.

The Tribe has been working to complete these projects for the last decade in an effort to reopen access to threatened juvenile Coho salmon, steelhead trout and coastal cutthroat trout. The

culverts fill with sediments and regularly flood, isolating the Resigni Rancheria community during and after major storm events.

The funding is part of a $35 million infrastructure investment for 2023. 39 projects in 22 states will address outdated or obsolete dams, culverts and other barriers fragmenting America’s rivers and streams. The bipartisan Infrastructure Law will invest $3 billion in fish passage and connectivity projects. Nine of the projects were led by Tribal partners.

The announcement came on the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.

Crescent City is sponsoring an exhibit showcasing the eccentric art from Ukrainian Val Polyanin. Entitled SAFEKEEPING: The art of Val Polyanin, some 900 paintings, sculptures and non-traditional expressions of this former Crescent City resident will be on display at the old Bank of America building at 240 H St.

As part of the First Friday event, the city welcomes all to view the Polyanin collection, Friday, May 5, from 5- 7:30 p.m. The city will display the collection the first Friday each month, through October 6.

Polyanin fled the former Soviet Union in 1986 due to political repression. After jumping off a cargo ship and swimming to the Japanese island of Honshu, Polyanin, Polyanin ultimately made his way to the United States and ended up on Highway 101 South across from the harbor where he built his studio and expressed his non-traditional art from 19882022.

Property owner Hambro Group ended up with the collection as Polyanin had no means

29-year-old Silas

Johnson of Crescent City was driving alone westward on Harding Avenue at about 7 p.m. Friday, April 21, when his 2003 Volkswagen sedan was involved in a one-car accident at El Dorado. According to the Highway Patrol, his vehicle collided with a concrete wall at Bess Maxwell school. Johnson was rushed to Sutter Coast Hospital where he was declared brain-dead.

The bereaved family heroically and agonizingly decided to disconnect the life support at the hospital and rush Silas Johnson to University of California Hospital to preserve his organs and save the lives of others.

Many in the community lined Washington Boulevard to join Silas’ family in saying a final goodbye on Monday, April 24. The family gesture, fraught with grief, was sobering to those who witnessed this heroic act.

Silas Johnson will endure in the hearts of this community and the individual heart, lungs, liver, corneas and other vital organs for those who await immediate life-saving surgeries.

Del Norte golfer qualifies for NCS tournament

BY RAY HAMILL For the

Triplicate

Del Norte junior Kai

Russell has advanced to the North Coast Section Division-II Boys Golf Championships for the second straight year after another big spring in H-DNL action.

Russell, who finished sixth in the season standings and received allleague honors, will make the trip to Rooster Run Golf Course in Petaluma on May 8 along with nine other golfers from the H-DNL, including five from the league champion Eureka Loggers.

Russell closed out the league season with a round of 89 at Baywood Golf and Country Club recently and was one of several Del Norte golfers that showed a lot of improvement this season, according to his coach Luke O’Laughlin.

“Everybody, from last year to this year, has made a pretty drastic improvement overall,” the coach said. “It’s kind of starting to click for them. This year was more about improvement and they all did that.”

O’Laughlin is hoping Russell can carry that momentum into the Division-II section tournament and possibly qualify for the Division-I championships.

“The best case for him is to qualify and make it to the next tournament,” the coach said. “But at least we’d like to see that improvement and keep building on that.”

Russell closed out the regular season with a big push, shooting a season-low 82 in back-to-back

rounds at the Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club in Fortuna and the Del Norte Golf Course heading into the final round in Arcata.

Even more impressive, he teamed with fellow junior Blake Larson to place first at the Dutcher Creek Freeze two-person scramble tournament in Grants Pass on April 14.

The Warriors duo got to compete in sunshine for the first time all season on the way to shooting a 68, and they beat out several schools from Oregon for the victory.

And they did it on a course they had never seen before.

“What made this even more special was that while golf is predominately about what the individual player is capable of, seeing them get a chance to compete and win as a team was a nice change of pace,”

O’Laughlin said. “It really showed the beauty that is golf, and that’s playing this game with friends.

“They had to play off each other and talk through it, and it was kind of a neat environment to watch them do that.”

The season itself was a challenging one for the Del Norte boys and the rest of the H-DNL, with cold, wet and windy conditions persistently causing problems.

But none of that appeared to dampen the golfers’ spirits.

“It was great to see everybody (in the H-DNL) battling through what we had to go through,”

O’Laughlin said. “It was great to watch these kids battle through the amount

of rain and cold we had and not be phased and to keep at it.”

Russell, in particular, impressed for the Warriors on his way to earning a second consecutive White Star.

Larson also enjoyed a big spring and placed 16th overall in league, while shooting a season-best round of 90 in Del Norte.

This year’s Warriors team also included Anthony DeVoss, Ayden Antonetti, Gabriel Gallardo, Nicolas Jager and Gabe Howard and placed sixth in the H-DNL team championship.

California condor samples test positive for H5N1 bird flu

BY MOLLY ROSBACH

Guest Article

At least seven deceased California condors from a northern Arizona population were infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza this spring, the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Oregon State University has found.

As of Monday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reported a total of 20 deceased condors in the Arizona flock, with 10 confirmed positive for HPAI, including those tested at OSU.

OSU is currently testing additional deceased condor samples for HPAI. The deceased birds to date represent nearly 4% of the condor population left in the world.

The OSU laboratory detected HPAI in samples from 11 dead condors from the Arizona population. Seven of those have been

confirmed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory, and OSU lab supervisors are awaiting final confirmation on the last four samples OSU tested.

The same virulent H5N1 strain of avian influenza has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40 million egg-laying hens in the U.S since the current outbreak began in January 2022, with the losses also contributing to rising egg prices. The virus, which has no cure, is spread via bird-to-bird contact and also affects many mammals. There are only about 500 California condors in the world, so a highly pathogenic, highly contagious disease hitting the species is alarming, said Kurt Williams, director of the diagnostic laboratory housed in OSU’s Carlson College of Veterinary Med-

icine.

Due to many human factors including poisoning, shooting, habitat degradation and the collection of eggs and feathers, California condors nearly went extinct in the 1980s, with a population low of 22 birds. Conservation and breeding programs have helped increase their numbers, but the birds are still at high risk, especially from lead poisoning caused by eating carcasses full of bullet fragments left by hunters.

“Their numbers are low enough that any individual leaving the population prematurely is an important event for the species,” Williams said.

“This is a species that has made a remarkable recovery through conservation, and now to have this disease hit is pretty devastating.”

The 20 dead condors this spring were part of a population that spans

several national parks in northern Arizona and southern Utah, with the first deceased female in the flock collected on March 20, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. The carcasses were all sent to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Lab in Ashland, Ore., for necropsies to determine cause of death.

Spleen samples from the birds were then sent to the diagnostic laboratory at OSU, where technicians extracted RNA and conducted PCR tests to identify the virus, said Donna Mulrooney, quality assurance manager in the laboratory.

Once OSU positively identified avian influenza, the condor samples were sent to the National Veterinary Service Laboratory in Iowa for final confirmation. Seven are confirmed and four are “presumed non-negative,” OSU lab

supervisor Dawn Dirks said.

The disease affects several organ systems, primarily the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, symptoms in birds include lethargy, inability to fly, erratic behavior, loss of coordination, cloudy eyes, swimming in circles and head shaking. Birds typically die within 72 hours of showing clinical signs.

Several factors have made the current outbreak much more severe than previous avian flu outbreaks, Mulrooney and Williams said.

In the past, avian flu was more seasonal, flaring during spring and fall when waterfowl migrate but then subsiding in the off-seasons. The outbreak that started in January 2022, however, has not really had an off-season,

Williams said.

This outbreak is also affecting a much wider range of mammals, which carries the threat of spreading to humans, though the risk is low and only a few human cases have been reported this year, all outside the U.S.

In addition to both domestic and wild birds, in the last year the OSU laboratory has detected the virus in two feral cats, several skunks, a racoon and an American marten. The current outbreak has also had a massive economic impact, costing the poultry industry tens of millions of dollars last year and contributing to soaring egg prices. While the risk to humans is low, people still need to be cautious around wildlife, Williams said. “Don’t pick up sick or dead birds or mammals; just leave them be and steer clear,” he said.

Del Norte junior Kai Russell tees off in a recent tournament. Russell finished sixth in the season standings to qualify for the NCS tournament. Below, Blake Larson finished 16th in the league.

Earl Brown passed away at the age of 59 on April 15th with family by his side. He was born in Gold Beach, Oregon to Betty and Donald Brown, he had seven siblings. He is a Yurok Tribal Citizen. As a child he lived in Montana and Washington but spent the majority of his life living in Del Norte County.

He attended Redwood Elementary in his middle school years and graduated from Del Norte High School in 1982. He enrolled in College of the Redwoods Del Norte in the summer of 1996.

After graduating with his AA, he transferred to Humboldt State University where he graduated in December of 2000 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, and Minor in Economics. He would drive from Smith River to Arcata multiple times a week to be able to attend his classes and still be at home with his family in the evenings. His biggest reason for going back to school was to be a better provider for his children. He stayed motivated throughout his higher education journey because he knew he wanted to work with local Tribal communities.

He has a large family and enjoyed all the get-togethers they had. He played Santa every Christmas and was in charge of passing out all the gifts. He had long hair for most of his life, it wasn’t until after his sister Beth died that he cut his hair and never grew it out again. He loved wearing his crochet caps with his hair braided. Earl enjoyed camping and fishing, and loved gill netting on the Klamath River. He also enjoyed snorkeling, swimming, and jumping off rocks on the beautiful Smith River.

Earl was involved in Tolowa and Yurok culture. He loved the outdoors and spent time with family at the beach for fish camp. He enjoyed woodworking and made several drums over the years. He was an avid dancer in his younger years and raised his children to participate in the culture as well. He instilled the importance of

education and culture with his children at a young age. Earl always shared stories about spending time with his Yurok and Tolowa elders who taught him the history and language of the old ways.

Earl loved his career of 18 years helping Tribal Citizens with housing in Yurok and Tolowa Country. He paved the road for what is today the Dat-naa-svt Housing Village. He oversaw the development of See-waadvn, Chit-xu mee-ne’ and the Elder housing behind Lucky 7 Casino. He managed an all-Tribal Citizen crew and truly loved when they were able to rehab Tribal Citizen homes.

Before his passing Earl recalled attending a Merv George dance at the fairgrounds in 1994. He said he saw a longlegged lady walk in with his sister Rose and the rest was history. Earl fell in love with Janelle and her two children who at the time were ages 2 and 6. He raised Emily and Cara as his own. Earl and Janelle had a son of their own, Guschu in 1995. They were married in 2001, their wedding is still remembered and was considered the party of that year. They raised their family and resided in Smith River on the reservation until his passing.

Earl was preceded in death by his father Donald, father-in-law Mike, Sister Beth, Brother-in-Law Les, Sister-in-law Rayona, Brother-in-law David, Uncle Ray, Uncle Eddie, Aunt Ethel Chase and Aunt Veda McCovey.

Earl leaves behind his mother Betty, motherin-law Phyllis, wife Janelle, children Cara and her partner Mike, Emily and her husband Thomas, and his only son Guschu Brown. He is also survived by his granddaughters Annalena, Tee-me’, Marlee and Willow. His newest and greatest joy was his grandson, Phoenix. Earl also leaves behind his siblings, Rose (Gary), Nieca, Arthena (Niano), Yvonne, Charlie, and Roy, his sister-in-law, Dawn (Dennis), and several

Douglas Barron Larson

11/3/1941 - 4/12/23

He was born on November 3, 1941, in Olympia, Washington, to Einar and Mildred (Vales) Larson. He graduated from Crescent City High School in 1959. Doug spent four years in the Navy. He was stationed in Alameda, California and was a petty officer 3rd class. He then began working as a letter carrier in San Jose and transferred to the Medford Post Office in 1965. He retired after a thirty-year career. While at the post office, Doug was instrumental to the union and was a proud NALC member. Being a mailman allowed him to meet and befriend many people during his career.

If you were lucky enough to meet Doug, you had a friend. He enjoyed talking with people and never met a stranger. Doug took to golf at an early age and was an avid golfer. This lifelong passion led him to the Rogue Valley Country Club. Not only did Doug enjoy golfing at the Country Club, he made lasting friendships with other members and became a club institution. Doug loved his family, golf, and the Dodgers. He is known for his quick and witty sense of humor. When you drive by Fichtner-Mainwaring Park, think of Doug as he proposed the name. Doug is survived

nieces and nephews.

When Earl spoke about his grandchildren, he always said they are the “lights of my life”. They became his greatest joy after becoming too ill to work. He said his best advice he could give if he had a second chance at life was “don’t drink, life is so much better without it”. He loved having pets over the years and often referred to them as his “furry kids” and “furry grandkids”.

He was an avid 49er fan. He was able to attend three live games and they won all three games he attended. He would always remind people that he was a 49er fan and would enjoy talking about football, news, music, or movies.

He wanted to thank the doctors and staff that helped him during his hospitalizations at Sutter Coast Hospital. He also wanted to thank people in advance for supporting his family and friends during this hard time.

Graveside services officiated by Dan Allen were held on Thursday, April 20th at the Howonquet Cemetery in Smith River. A potluck and celebration of life followed at the Howonquet Hall Community Center. His pallbearers were his greatest friends Travis Latimier, Sean Berry, Roy Lyle, Eric Brundin, Garrett Campbell, Ron Richards, and his son-inlaw Thomas Reed.

His honorary pallbearers were his son Guschu Brown, brother Roy Brown, Michael Kuhn, Billy Fender, Brother-in-law Niano Santos, and nephews Niano “Brother” Santos, HopPow Norris and Nicholas Wright.

McGuire’s California College Sexual Harassment Disclosure Act Advances

Between 2017 and 2021, 54 employees at CSU campuses were found to have committed violations of sexual misconduct and discrimination. The violations included requests for sex, unwanted touching and aggressive verbal harassment.

Those perpetrators have no place in the Golden State’s university system, which is why Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire has introduced SB 791, the California College Sexual Harassment Disclosure Act.

This bill has now overwhelmingly passed both the Senate Education and Judiciary Committees.

“The Sexual Harassment Disclosure Act is all about shining the light on dark and dangerous behavior, holding perpetrators accountable and ensuring the cycle of harassment and abuse on California’s college campuses is stopped in its tracks,” McGuire said. “That’s why we’ve introduced the Sexual Harassment Disclosure Act, which will ensure hiring committees stop the cycle of harassment and protect students and staff.”

The legislation will require applicants for administrative or academic positions disclose any final administrative or judicial decision determining they (the applicant) committed sexual harassment. That information would then be turned over to a hiring committee at a California community college and or Cal State University, ensuring the cycle of harassment and abuse can be stopped in its tracks.

Events to remember, not to regret

My teenage life was never imagined. When I was 16 in 1992, a drunken driver hit me. After the 30–40-minute extrication, I was airlifted to a hospital. I stayed in a fourmonth coma, had paralysis, broken and dislocated bones with brain injuries.

After years of hospitals, surgeries and therapies, I can walk and talk.

High school events bring excitement. Teens have no experience drinking alcohol and assume it brings fun. Just from sips they can become clumsy or ill. It’s insane to believe you can drive in that condition.

Proms are happening. For instance, Del Norte High School in Crescent City will have prom on May 6. I missed prom with many other high school traditions and graduated in a wheelchair.

My plans to go to college vanished. A drunken driver changed my life. For 30+ years, I text on the phone, read lips and cannot drive.

Drinking and driving do not mix. Be sober when driving.

Children’s health or teacher’s paycheck?

The world spent two years in a pandemic and forced to wear masks, especially in any medical facilities. What do you think that would do to a human body? Well, for starters it would weaken the immune system. The mask would block the pathogens the human body once recognized, therefore making the immune system weak to that pathogen once again.

When the human body is fighting an infection, the body temperature will rise. This phase would be the fever phase.

When the human body is at a fever moment, the body can share this infection to other human bodies. So, safe distance from one human body to another to contain such an infection his highly considered.

When did our nation put a price on our children’s head? Why did I just hear about a mother and father being booked at the county jail for their child having too many missed days of school?

Why should I, as a parent, sacrifice my child’s health for an educator’s paycheck?

I do not control our governor. I do not make his decisions on cutbacks. So why are the parents being penalized for keeping their children safe? Better yet, parents are being penalized for keeping their children home, so they do not spread the infection to other children and the EDUCATOR’S. When did the education system loose common sense?

I am a mother of four. I am also a full time medical professional that worked through the pandemic. I went into Covid rooms. I held the hands of the dying when their families could not come into the room, but only watch through the outside window while there loved one takes their last breath.

Then coming home, stripping my clothes off in the backyard and taking a shower to keep my family safe. Took the Covid vaccine so I did not lose my job. Being forced to wear a mask, knowing what it was going to do to my body.

My children and I went from not being sick at all for over a year when it was mandated to wear masks, to now taking the masks off and now constantly sick. Now as of 04/03/2023, medical facilities are no longer forced to wear mask. What do you think will happen now?

Politics is all about policy

For me, politics is all about policy. Political campaigns are necessary in a democracy to elect our leaders, but it is always my hope that after the election is over people will accept the results and shift into governance mode. I vote for politicians based on the policies that they support. However, if my preferred candidate does not win, this does not end my policy objectives. The time in between elections is when we see what our elected officials can do for us. It is always fair to ask, “What have they done for us lately?”

Today I will relay some recent updates about the activities of a few of our state and federal representatives. While I get news from a variety of credible sources, the following three elected officials are very reliable in sending me information directly. This news is from them.

Governor Newsom

On March 28, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation to hold Big Oil accountable with some of the strongest transparency and oversight measures in the country, including authorizing the state to establish a price gouging penalty on the oil industry.

Last year it appeared that oil producers suppressed supply to drive up prices. While the rest of the economy was struggling, oil companies raked in record profits.

In response, Governor Newsom proposed and a supermajority in both the Senate and Assembly approved a new law (SBx1-2) which created a dedicated independent watchdog to root out price gouging by oil companies and authorized the California Energy Commission to create a penalty to hold the industry accountable.

This new independent watchdog will closely monitor Big Oil and will refer any industry miscon-

duct, violation of law, or market manipulation to the Attorney General for prosecution.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta explained why he co-sponsored this bill, “Record high retail gas prices and record-breaking profits for Big Oil hurt those who can least afford it most of all. For too long, Californians have been left in the dark when it comes to the practices of the gas industry. And while oil companies have been lining their pockets, many Californians are struggling to make ends meet.”

Senator McGuire

Our State Senator Mike McGuire is currently serving as Senate Majority Leader, which makes him the second highest ranking member of the State Senate. He effectively uses this position to benefit his constituents.

In February, Senator McGuire introduced Senate Bill 286, “The Offshore Wind Expediting Act,” which will accelerate the state-side offshore wind permitting process through the State Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission.

At the same time, this bill will protect California’s coastal environment and storied fishing fleet, deploy resources for offshore wind infrastructure in local communities and help get folks to work through new career training programs.

“If we’re serious about bringing on desperately needed new power generation facilities and meeting the state’s nation-leading climate goals and energy needs, we must move heaven and earth to deploy new green power,” Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire said.

Congressman Huffman

Sometimes it is the duty of an elected official to prevent bad things from

happening.

The new Republican controlled Congress includes radical extremists who seem obsessed with avenging past grievances and reversing any progress that the Democrats have made over the last two years. We are fortunate to have Jared Huffman there to minimize the damage of this new congress. In March Congressman Huffman voted against House Resolution 1 (H.R.1), the House Republicans’ first bill and top legislative priority. Huffman calls this bill the “Polluters over People Act.”

Explaining his vote, Huffman said, “We must do everything we can to shore up our domestic energy supplies and speed up our transition to a clean energy future, but unfortunately this bill misses the mark.”

Huffman opposed several provisions of H.R.1 which would:

• Force agencies to hold oil and gas lease sales on public lands, even if they aren’t needed. If these sales don’t get enough bids, replacement sales must be held, giving our public lands away at cutrate prices.

•Let mining companies keep taking minerals from public lands without paying a single dime to the American people or even helping pay the billions needed to clean up their toxic messes.

•Repeal the $4.5 billion home electrification rebate program and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program to deploy clean energy projects and cut greenhouse gas pollution. This would rob the American people of lower energy bills, well-paying jobs, and a healthier future.

The Republican majority in Congress approved H.R.1 and sent it to the Senate where it will most likely die. If it passes the

Senate, it will surely get vetoed by President Biden. In a nutshell this is an unproductive waste of time and only serves to highlight the radical policies of the Republican dominated House of Representatives.

Real Solutions

“There are real, workable solutions to addressing our energy needs, extreme weather, food insecurity, and all the downstream consequences of climate change. But this package is not it.” said Huffman. “I am committed to making sure we get those real solutions across the finish line.”

Congressman Huffman is making it a priority to bring more renewable energy online, and to modernize and upgrade electricity transmission facilities.

Last year the Democratic Congress passed the largest ever investment in climate action through the “Inflation Reduction Act.”

There may not be any fruitful legislation that passes Congress this year, but I am reassured that Congressman Huffman is there to guard against backsliding.

I support these energy related policy actions by Governor Newsom, Senator McGuire, and Congressman Huffman and am grateful that we have them representing our interests in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

Land exchanges serve the wealthy

By eriCa rosenBerG

In 2017, the public lost 1,470 acres of wilderness-quality land at the base of Mount Sopris near Aspen, Colorado.

For decades, people had hiked and hunted on the Sopris land, yet the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) handed it over to Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria’s Secret and other corporations, at his request. The so-called “equivalent terrain” he offered in return was no match for access to trails at the base of the 13,000-foot mountain.

This ill-considered trade reveals how land management agencies pander to wealthy interests, do not properly value public land, and restrict opportunities for public involvement.

It’s an ongoing scandal in Colorado that receives little attention.

Since 2000, the BLM and the Forest Service have proposed over 150 land exchanges in Colorado.

Last year alone, the agencies proposed to trade more than 4,500 acres of public lands,

worth over $9 million, in three major Colorado land exchanges.

Land to be traded away includes precious riverfront, lands recommended for Wild and Scenic River designation, and hundreds of acres of prime hunting and recreation territory.

Public land exchanges can be a useful tool. Federal agencies use them to consolidate land holdings, improve public access, reduce management costs and protect watersheds. By law, the trades must serve the public interest, and the land exchanged must be of equal value.

The agencies are supposed to analyze, disclose and mitigate the impacts of relinquishing public lands in exchanges, and also solicit public input on whether a trade makes sense.

But here in Colorado — and elsewhere around the country — this management tool has been usurped by powerful players who aim to turn valuable public lands into private playgrounds.

Often, the deals proposed sound good in terms of acreage.

In the Valle Seco Exchange, for

: Shawn Hedgecorth

example, the San Juan National Forest in southern Colorado would trade 380 acres for 880 acres of prime game-wintering habitat.

But the trade mostly benefits the landowners pushing the exchange. Public lands for trade in the Valle Seco Exchange include river access, corridors considered for Wild and Scenic River designation, wetlands, sensitive species habitat, and significant cultural sites.

Alarmingly, the Valle Seco exchange also includes more than 175 acres of a Colorado Roadless Area, a designation meant to block development of high-quality land. The exchange would allow a neighboring landowner to consolidate those 380 acres with his 3,000-plus acre ranch, opening the door to development.

The Valle Seco Exchange follows a long-standing pattern. “Exchange facilitators,” people familiar with the land-acquisition wish lists of agencies, help private landowners buy lands the agencies want.

The landowners then threaten to manage and develop those lands in ways that undermine their integrity. The Valle Seco proponents did this by closing formerly open gates and threatening to fence the 880 acres for a domestic elk farm and hunting lodge. This is blackmail on the range.

While catering to these private interests, the agencies suppress public scrutiny by refusing to share land appraisals and other documents with the public until after the public process has closed — or too late in the process to make it meaningful.

The proponents and their consultants have ready access to these documents, yet the public, which owns the land, does not.

In Valle Seco, appraisals were completed in August 2020, but they weren’t released to the public until December 2021, just a few weeks before the scheduled decision date for the exchange. Advocates managed to pry the appraisals out of the agency only after submitting multiple Freedom of Information Act requests and taking legal action.

In another deal, the Blue Valley Exchange, the BLM also withheld drafts of the management agreements until just before releasing the final decision. This is hardly an open and fair public process.

The federal government presents what are, in effect, done deals. Development plans and appraisals are undisclosed and comment periods hindered. By prioritizing the proponents’ desires over public interests and process, the land management agencies abdicate their responsibilities.

The result is that too many land trades are nothing less than a betrayal of the public trust as the public loses access to its land as well as the land itself.

Place of Sale: At the Steps of the Southwest Entrance to the Flynn Administration Building, located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $212,320.02 The purported property address is: 1001 SANDMANN ROAD, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 112-121-013-000 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE

TO PROPERTY OWNER:

The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832

for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-949653-AB.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE

TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-949653-AB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO PROSPEC-

TIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT:

Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

The Ice Bowl: A great idea endures, disc golf flourishes

By RON COLE

Guest Article

Some two plus decades back, the Redwood National and State Parks Gateway partnership was inaugurated. The partnership purpose was to support tourism, beautify the community and raise funds for worthy causes.

This gateway partnership continues to pay dividends by forming the Wild Rivers Throwers Disc Club in 2005 and the Coyote Disc program in 2015.

Brett Silver, then a ranger for State Parks, enroute to becoming parks superintendent helped to develop the Beachfront Park disc golf course. Silver was passionate about reducing vandalism and the development of the course has helped in that endeavor.

Wild Rivers Disc Club sponsored the recent Ice Bowl tournament Saturday, April 8. Around 30 competitors from Gold

Beach. Grants Pass, Arcata, Eureka and Crescent City participated in the benefit tournament. Chain link disc baskets were set up along the trails at the terminus off Old Mill Road in Crescent City. Three categories for disc competition were established: professional, amateur and women’s. Participating in prizes were the Promise Neighborhood grant, Wild Rivers Disc Club, Coyote Disc group and the Flyin’ Lynx group.

$1,315 was raised for donations to selected homeless services. More than 15 pounds of trash was picked up.

Winners In the women’s division, Katelyn Warbritton of Eureka was first with a score of 137. Vanessa Ortiz of Crescent City scored a 148. Zack Caldwell was the men’s amateur winner. Ron Cole was the firstplace winner in the Men’s Pro Open.
